I'm not sure if I can count my childhood dresses as formal (the ones I wore for school's Christmas and end of the school year events)... The first formal wear I bought myself was for my upper secondary school graduation. No dress, I wore black and white striped trousers and a jacket with a white dress shirt and a black tie.

I was going to say Diary of a Teenage Girl series, but I'll go back even further and say The Boxcar Children. There dozens of books in that series, but I think I only got to book 8 before I got bored. But The Boxcar Children still bring back fond memories of reading and loving to read. And mysteries.

This is a tough one. I was really into Dangerous Minds, My So-Called Life, Lois & Clark and The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr. I'm not sure which one aired here first, but they are all from early or mid 90s.

But those were the days~ I remember watching Dangerous Minds and My So-Called Life with my older sister. We didn't have that much in common (she's six years older), but we both loved those shows.

I've never competed but the first time I was in a school team was in junior high, in 8th grade. I was in the swimming team. I couldn't compete because my sight is not the best and without glasses I would be legally blind. So the only time I was close to competing the coach in my team and the one from the other school just said that I was in a different category and they didn't let me compete. I've wanted to train in paralympic swimming but I've never found out how to get in a team. I think my university has a paralympic swimming team (they have a paralympic basketball team), but nobody has pointed me in the right direction.
